COCKNEY REJECTS
The Cockney Rejects
The Cockney Rejects are the definitive voice of working-class street punk. Born in East London in the late '70s, they swapped art-school pretension for "terrace singalong" anthems and raw attitude. After famously being banned from Top of the Pops and inspiring global giants like Green Day and Rancid, the Rejects returned to the stage in 2000. Today, their live show is a high-octane party of timeless classics. Join the Rejects for the best night out you’ll have all year!
Cockney Rejects,

Expect infectious grooves, theatrical props, and—yes—free cheese. From Beautiful Days to Bearded Theory, Dr Splink doesn't just play a set; they bring the party.
